In this paper we test for the existence of a long-run savings-investments relationship in 18 OECD economies over the period 1970-2007. Although individual modelling provides only very weak support to the hypothesis of a link between savings and investments, this cannot be ruled out as individual...

In this paper we test for the existence of a long-run savings-investments relationship in 18 OECD economies over the period 1970-2007.

The objective of this paper is to examine the long-run determinants of internal migrations from South Italy, and, in order to accomplish this task, to develop a bootstrap test for panel cointegration analysis with dependent units. Monte Carlo simulations show that the test, based on the...

We address the issue of panel cointegration testing in dependent panels, showing by simulations that tests based on the stationary bootstrap deliver good size and power performances even with small time and cross-section sample sizes and allowing for a break at a known date. They can thus be an...

The aim of this paper is (i) to propose a method for obtaining estimates of long-run total factor productivity (TFP) trends free from the restrictive assumptions needed by traditional growth accounting, requiring only data on inputs and output flows, and able to deliver estimates of long-run TFP...
